A Kansas Liquor Case

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE interesting
and important prohibition liquor law case
Of the state of Kansas against Ferbold &
Hagelin, brewers and distiIlers, was argued
in the United States supreme court to-day.
The case arises under section 10 of the pro
hibitory law Of Kansas, which provides for
the shutting up of all places which
manufacture, sell, barter or give
away intoxicating liquors in violation
of SAID law, and for the punishment
of the owners. The question presented by
the case is whether, where a citizen pur-
chases and improves property for the
business, subsequent act of the Iegisla-
ture can prohibit or regulate the use of
that property for the purpose for which IL
10 designated without compensation. The
decision of the United States supreme
court was in favor of the brewers.

Abiding last week to the proposition
(of Judge Goolrick In speech at Wash
ington city, to make Mr.. Barbour's elec-
ton to the Senate an issue in the coming
campaign in Virginia, we said that it
would not meet the approval of Mr.. Bar
bour. The following extract from an in
tervew with Mr.. B. by the correspondent
of the Alexandria ''Gazette" confirms it.
and will give the people good idea of
just what sort of man John S. Barbour is:
When asked whether he would take
charge of the next campaign in Virginia
ne replied that it would be time enough
to answer that question after the conven-
Jion had been held; but that if it should
so happen that he would manage 1T, it
would certainly not be upon the idea,
which he was sorry to see had been lately
advanced that his OVID political prefer
ment should be factor in the case. He
said he had not conducted the last cam.
paign on any such idea, and most assured
ly would noG do so in any future one. If,
after the battle shall be fought and won,
with him as leader. the Virginia Democ-
racy might deem him worthy of any honor
and choose to bestoW it in their own way
we'll and coed; but that as to making a
campaign with any selfish Interior object
in view, he wouldn't think of it, and
wouldn't deserve to win if he did.

We confess we don't like the fibre Of the
response to the creditors telegram, adopt
ed by the legislature. There seems to be
over-much Of sickness about its instruc-
lions to the States commission-'thei in
ability of the people, greater burden of
taxation. and all that old story. Why not
talk it out like business men who are in
hard place, but honest withal. This way:
Here we are in 1887. Here are the books.
There is our last years receipts and there
is our expense account. Put your own
man to balance them. Say what you will
do, and say it quick. You said you would
take what was over. If you are in earnest,
there it is. If you are not, then We'll fight
it out in the courts.
Again: If there is any more caucussing
over this debt question, let it be done 10
open session of the legislature. We want
both parties in this debt settlement. or we
want to know the reason why they are not
in IL. Let there be an open show of hands
all around and no party maneuvering for
position. The people feel some curiosity
about where the Republican party is on
this question. Make it tell in open session
where it is. Don't Let 1t have the excuse
that it opposed "Democraticn PROPOSE
tion; put it where it will have to oppose a
plain, straight, creditors proposition with
out sugar or bitters. If anybody is going
to caucus. let it be the Republicans; as for
the Democracy let it put pen behind its
ear. pull down its ledger. set chair for
the creditor, and go at this business mat
ter in business fashion.

pays, say one-fourth cash, and gives his notes
for the residue in four annual payments, the
vendor making him title and reserving lien
to secure what remains unpaid. Now as
soon as that is done the purchaser becomes
nominally the owner and has to pay the tax
on that $40, 900 farm, although he has only
So, 500 cash capital in it. Now if it be I'M

STATE ACTION FOR THE SAFET Y
OF CAJILE.

OF C4ITLE.
20 n Monday afternoon last, Hon. A. I'M M
Bo wman of the cattle firm of Palmer &c
Bowman, who has been spending the win
ter in Washington in successful effort
to get bill through congress for the ex-
tirpation of contagious pleuro- pneumonia
and other exotic diseases among cattle,
left Stauuton for Richmond carrying a
petition properly signed asking the
legislature to pass law accepting the aid
proffered by this bill. It is an act that
cannot go into operation in the States
without the consent of the State legisla-
lures and it IS fortunate that our legisla-
ture is in session SO early to accept it.
Virginia has vast interest in this bill.
for she has nearly $2O,OOO,OOO worth of
cattle and she sells them both in America
and Great Britain. By reason of the
existence Of this scourge in this country
Virginia now loses from SIS to $40 per
head On cattle she ships to England, for
the British government requires all Amer
lean cattle to be slaughtered within ten
days after their arrival. Her cattle inter-
est, already great, promises from the intro
duction Of the creameries to be still
greater. And If her interests are great,
her danger is accordingly great. Her
lands are great grazing ground for west
ern cattle, and immense numbers are sent
across her territory on their way to the
Eastern cities. The bill which was passed
by congress appropriates $500 900 to stamp
out contagious diseases in cattle by
slaughtering the affected animals. When
that is done in State, no quarantine is
enforced against her cattle by other States,
but when 1t is not done they are quaran-
tined and the cattle trade of Virginia thus
ruinously hampered. A bill has passed the
Senate to accept the benefits of this act of
congress which the House Of Dele gates
should pass at once, and thereby put Viz
ginia on a footing with other States.
The petition Mr.. Bowman carries is
signed by himself, H. q. Stuart, Chas. F.
Palmer, Geo. Chrisman and G.. Julian
Pratt. composing the legislative commit
tee for the State of Virginia. of the
National Cattle Growers Association of
America.
